our scotland correspondent lorna gordonjoins us now from edinburgh.ve details of what she says will give details of what she says will be the road map to a new referendum. last time round, back in 2014, the scottish government had the consent of the uk government to hold another referendum, through what is known as a section 30 order, thatis what is known as a section 30 order, that is the gold standard for a referendum. this time round, that seems unlikely, as you say, the uk government says now not the time for a second referendum, so what other paths might there be? might nicola sturgeon propose holding another referendum, fighting it through the courts? night she propose holding a clubtive balance with a differently worded question, perhaps one asking the people of scotland for a mandate to open negotiations with the united kingdom government. the problem with that, of course, is that also could well be challenged in the court, either ahead of such a referendum or after the fact. it could be boycotted by pro union voters here in scotland. the uk g

lorna gordon is there. what is the fallout from that? the lorna gordon is there. not the time and it is emphasising it is clear in its constitution is reserved to westminster. in terms of the practicalities of what nicola sturgeon would like to see happen, we are in a holding pattern for the next few weeks and months. holyrood breaks for the summer recess after tomorrow. the supreme court has a full docket. there is speculation that perhaps it might, the hearing in front of the supreme court judges, if it goes ahead, will perhaps be september or october but it isn't scheduled yet, a date has yet to be set. but before that the court has to accept the reference in the first place. nicola sturgeon has this three—pronged approach that she is now going to take in terms of trying to have a second independence referendum, the first is asking the prime ministerfor a referendum, the first is asking the prime minister for a section 30 order, that will pass the powers to the scottish parliament to hold another referendum. that seems unlikely to happen. the second is the supr

our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at holyrood. good morning.ence were voted in at the last holyrood elections, and they are together in government. but there are many ways to slice the cake and the secretary of state for scotland alisterjack, who represents the uk government, would argue strongly there is not a mandate for another referendum. he would say that that doesn't exist because less than a third of the electorate voted for the snp last time around. there will be arguments about mandate. the second area is processed, the path to the second referendum that was used in 2015 —— 2014, the edinburgh agreement, appears to be closed off. the uk government does not seem to be receptive to that. so might nicola sturgeon talk this afternoon of a consultative ballot, with a different question to that which was used back in 2014? we don't know exactly what she will say that there is one of the ideas that has been mooted in these past few weeks. a consultative ballot will face its own challenges, could it be blocks in the courts, would it be boycott
